새 설교 (20)

The joy of the Christian is a holy joy; the happiness of the Christian is a serious happiness.

데이비드 마틴 로이드존스

Man is fond of counting his troubles but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.

표도르 도스토옙스키 (영적 깊이의 러시아 소설가)

5531 I thought God’s purpose was to make me full of happiness and joy. It is, but it is happiness and joy from God’s standpoint, not from mine.

오스왈드 챔버 스

Complete happiness is knowing God.

존 칼빈

There is no happiness out of GOD.

존 웨슬리 (John Wesley)

To seek God is to desire happiness; to find him is that happiness.

히포의 성 아우구스티누스

Roads are measured by miles

But the happiness that we gain in life

Is measured only by smiles.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Anonymous

Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

아리스토텔레스

The secret to happiness is this: Let your interest be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

Bertrand Russell

5517 Happiness is a thing that comes and goes, it can never be an end in itself. Holiness, not happiness, is the end of man.

오스왈드 챔버 스

5556 The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling.

사무엘 테일러 콜레리지 (Samuel Taylor Coleridge) (시인)

One feast, one house, one mutual happiness.

윌리엄 셰익스피어

A happiness that is sought for ourselves alone can never be found: for a happiness that is diminished by being shared is not big enough to make us happy.

토마스 머튼 (트라피스트 수도사 및 작가)

Man wishes to be happy even when he lives so as to make happiness impossible.

히포의 성 아우구스티누스

It’s not how much we have but how much we enjoy that makes happiness.

—Charles H. Spurgeon

찰스 스펄전

We hold these truths to be self-evident,—that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights;3 that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Ibid.

토마스 제퍼슨 (미국의 3대 대통령)

While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.

존 칼빈

Do you not know that his name is the happy God, and nothing gives him greater happiness then to give happiness to his creatures.

God Rejoicing In The New Creation, Volume 37, Sermon #2211 - Isaiah 65:17-19

찰스 스펄전

There is an ignoble pursuit of irresponsible happiness among us.2

A. W. 토저 (A. W. Tozer)

The last person to be really happy is the person who is living for happiness. If you set out to look for happiness you will never find it; happiness will never be sought directly and if you do not realise that, you will go wrong about happiness and about peace. Set up happiness or peace as the goal and you will never get there.

Authentic Christianity (2), 227

데이비드 마틴 로이드존스

Happiness is a mystery like religion, and should never be rationalized.

G. K. 체스터턴

Happiness is living by inner purpose, not by outer pressures. Happiness is a happening-with-God.

David Augsburger
